Bermuta Triangle of original features?

[Shawn Nelson]

Any word on when the following two original features are actually going in?

-Audio & TC over HD-SDI

-The i meta data from the lenses. When can I mail #27 back in to get the tabs put in like it was on the pre-X models? I'd love to get this data finally.

Anyone?

Great question.

Maybe they got lost in the spell checker triangle that plagues these boards along with the "d" in Bermuda. Anyhoo, I'm off to do some areal fotography in my airplain.

Piece.

stupid lack of spell-check! Okay, so I chose a bad subject title. Can someone please confirm or deny these features?

I can confirm that these features were planned at one time... Does that help?

Anyway, I would like to know too. Especially about the lens data connection. I asked at NAB and right after here on the forums if the upcoming "Pro" lenses, 18-85, new primes, etc.. would have the data contacts. Never got an answer.

Hopefully this feature has not been abandoned. However, if the /i interface is no longer going to happen, is there any chance an ARRI LDS option could be investigated? It would actually be my first choice anyway. Mmmm... Master Primes with lens metadata...
